Hi, Kudos on the new "View Details" button implementation, both visually nice and less intrusive tooltips. However, you know me - I can't just give praise without complaining... 1. The "View Details" tooltip (the actual tooltip) is not using JQuery, so the yellow (browser native) tooltip is showing (at least in Firefox 3.5.6 and Chrome on Linux). Other buttons show the black JQuery tooltip. 2. The "modified" date (when viewing the details of a dataset) is a bit misleading: It doesn't give the modification date of the dataset (also: what exactly is "modification" ? all datasets in Galaxy are immutable). It seems that the modification date is affected by any modification to the history. Example: - load any existing old history. - click on "view details" for a dataset: "Created" and "Modified" are in the past, or even identical. - rename the history (and don't modify any other parameter/dataset) - click on "view details" for the same dataset: "Created" stays the same. "Modified" becomes today's date. That is confusing, because the dataset was definitely not modified today. -gordon
Assaf, it should be the last modification to the dataset's metadata, info, etc. Any change that would be made through the edit attributes page. I agree this is confusing and should probably not be shown to the user at all. On Apr 11, 2011, at 7:13 PM, Assaf Gordon wrote:

Just note that changing the history name affects the dataset's modification date. not sure if this is intentional or not - because even conceptually renaming the history doesn't change any metadata of the dataset.
